Mind, Breath, Body

During meditation, the breath slows down, your heart beat and blood pressure lower, and a feeling of well-being fills your body.
Who wouldn't want to feel that?

When you experience something scary, hear bad news, or get pulled over by a police officer, your heart pounds, your pulse races, and the breath becomes shallow.
But even in times like this, you can learn to control the way that the mind reacts through meditation.

Meditation enables you to not only experience bliss, but know what to do during the times that you are facing a challenging situation.

Simply put, the messages from the mind affect the breath which affects the body. If life is a roller-coaster of emotions you will gradually experience ill-health and the effects of long-term stress.

Your thoughts and actions are bridged by the breath. Meditation combined with slow, rhythmic breathing is clinically proven to significantly decrease feelings of anxiety, stress, and depression.

Challenge the way you think and react by introspection and the power of positive thinking. This is another way of saying that meditation and affirmation are amazing tools that reinforce your ability to create the best possible outcome of every situation.

THE DAILY EDGE
Helping You Expand Your Possibilities
TODAY'S EDGE: BREATHE DEEP

Pain and struggle do not lead to the best outcome or your highest good. Meditation and positive affirmations bring balance to the body and mind and draw happiness, health, and joy to you easily and in abundance.

During your meditation practice and during quiet moments in your day, reaffirm what you feel during meditation and apply it whenever you feel tension arising.

Be open to receive
Give and receive freely
Be at peace within yourself

Slow the breath down until it is smooth and even.
Practice noticing the breath during meditation.
In your everyday activities, take time to notice the breath and adjust it accordingly.
In time, the mind sends you a gentle reminder to let you know that the breath is rapid and shallow and you can quickly correct it.

Meditation is for life. Practice it daily.
